Is this a good budget gaming pc for around 650€ (650ish in dollars)

Anony12 · Dec 13, 2016

Hello,

Trying to build a budget gaming pc for myself. Here's the link: http://a.co/htQnvsH . I come around 680$, but if anyone knows a better type of component or a cheaper variant, i'll greatly appreciate if you tell me. I wonder if the GPU itself is good and not overpriced?
(trying to stay in the 650€ -680$ max budget)
Thanks in regards

I know it adds an extra 15 euros or something on top, but I would recommend this PSU over the one you picked:

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12II-520-BRONZE-SS-520GB/dp/B00390P1NO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481620850&sr=8-1&keywords=seasonic+s12ii

This is much better quality and will probably do better than the one you picked, and has better regulation etc.

Other than that, there's nothing really major to improve or change, you should be good!

Thanks for the tip, will use that one instead. I noticed the ram sticks are 3200mhz and the motherboard supports 2133mhz as ive found on the official site: http://www.gigabyte.co.nl/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5589#sp now i wonder if thats a waste of money on the ram sticks. Should i find 2133mhz ones ?

If you wish, the 3200MHz is normall reached by the RAM going in dual channel XMP Mode, but you can always save a little bit of money and drop the frequency down to 2133, there's not really too much of a difference, it will still run smoothly etc.

No worries, it's a nice starter build.

I would wait a bit to see if anyone else comments to see if they notice something I may have missed.

I changed a few items and it comes out even cheaper i think, it's at $625 which is 590€ for me

( better motherboard and no flashy ram sticks and clock speed on the ram is 2133) mind checking it out?

Sure, go ahead and link it, I doubt there's anything that needs changing.

You could bump the RAM up to 16GB if you wish, you can get the same brand of RAM there and just get 2x8GB rather than 2x4GB

Anony12 · Dec 13, 2016

xFeaRDom :

Yeah true, added it to the list.
Thanks for helping me out here
